Immense Éboulis Rouge

MM038
Release date: 03/11/2025

‘Immense éboulis rouge’ is above all an unveiling. The voices appear without make-up – intelligible, fragile, martial, or whispered—they embody elliptical texts where the influence of H. Michaud may brush up against that of A. Guiraudie or B. Fontaine, like a kind of radioactive rainbow continuously hanging over hallucinated mental images, pointing to the loss of meaning, the retreat into oneself, and the rise of violence, even the wars to come that haunt our present.

These voices are constantly nestled within the sweet/bitter musical currents that carry them, whether in folk refrains such as “La voix bleue”, esoteric-ecological ballads like “Le Groenland existe”, or pulsing electronic rock trances like “Comprendre son cheval” or “La ville cachée”. It is not uncommon, once the voices fall silent, to hear these sounds overflow and burst at the end of journeys, like so many stinging fireworks and uncontrollable crescendos.

It is this balance between delicacy and excess, calm and overflowing, that defines this musical feature film with its unpredictable pulses and images.

A succession of scenes sung, whispered, spoken, and screamed, punctuated by melodic earworm outbursts, heart-rending stadium-sized ballads, folk lullabies, electronic mantras, and musical-comedy finales.
